Chapter 233: Chapter 109 Transcendental Blade Nurturing Art! Cultivate Blade Qi, Gather Blade Force, Condense Blade Intent!_2

Before, when night fell on Ink Forest Prefecture City, it was the liveliest time, with bright lanterns and bustling crowds seeking enjoyment. Now, the streets seem exceptionally deserted, with every household’s doors and windows tightly shut, and from time to time, one could see fully armed soldiers patrolling the streets.

If there were any pedestrians on the road, they would be rigorously interrogated by these soldiers!

“Damn this Murdering Demon, making us work overtime every day. Once we catch him, we must see what kind of thing dared to make us suffer so much!”

These soldiers were filled with resentment.

Since a month ago, dreadful news spread throughout Ink Forest Prefecture City that influential warriors with reputation and strength were brutally killed by a mysterious expert, and even their bodies were taken away. This has caused uproar in the city, with everyone feeling endangered and having a tremendous impact.

Even some of the prestigious warriors in Ink Forest Prefecture City were afraid of being targeted by the Murdering Demon and fled to seek refuge elsewhere.

The Magistrate Gong Yulong had also mobilized all armed forces, vowing to bring the Murdering Demon to justice!

In the Prefecture Yamen, there were posts every five steps and guards every ten, with the entire Prefecture Yamen heavily guarded and impenetrable.

“Commander Gong, this can’t go on! If we can’t resolve this matter soon, it won’t stay hidden for long!”

A man clad in official attire and of scholarly appearance, heaved a sigh.

This man was none other than Ink Forest Prefecture City’s Magistrate Gong Yulong, and the man sitting beside him, large and in charge, clad in dark golden armor, was Commander Gong Ba of the Ink Forest Army.

Gong Ba’s face also showed a trace of anxiety. He was the guardian deity of Ink Forest Prefecture City. Whenever troubles arose, he could quickly subdue them and maintain order.

However, this time was different from the past. The troublemaker was not a common figure, but a Demon Monster—a real Demon Monster! A Demon Monster that couldn’t be killed even by beheading!

“Yulong, what’s the situation with contacting Dafeng State City?”

Gong Ba asked.

Dafeng State, comprising dozens of prefectures, had Dafeng State City at its center. The State Governor Pei Yang sat in the city, commanding two hundred thousand Dafeng Iron Cavalry, unmatched in prowess.

With a real Demon Monster appearing in Ink Forest Prefecture City, Gong Ba had immediately sent Gong Yulong to write a letter to the higher-level Dafeng State City, reporting the situation, hoping Dafeng State City would send someone to resolve the matter.

The appearance of a real Demon Monster in Ink Forest Prefecture City had even caused Gong Ba to suffer a loss earlier. He felt threatened.

To Dafeng State City, the center of a state, its strength and heritage were far beyond comparison to a single Ink Forest Prefecture City’s; if an expert came from there, dealing with that Demon Monster Feng Mo shouldn’t be a problem.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yulong frowned deeply and said, “Dafeng State City is far away from here. I sent a disciple of the Gong Family to personally deliver the letter. By rights, they should have sent someone by a few days ago, but there’s been no movement at all.”

Gong Yulong also felt puzzled. It wasn’t like Dafeng State City to be this inefficient. They should have sent someone shortly after receiving the letter!

“Who goes there?”

“Ahhhh!”

As the two were discussing, a commotion erupted outside the room with calls of the Ink Forest Army and a series of dying screams.

“Heh heh heh! Gong Ba… I’ve come to find you as promised! Come out! I’m very hungry!”

A derisive laugh echoed, resonating in everyone’s ears.

“It’s Feng Mo! He’s here!”

Gong Ba’s eyelids twitched slightly. This was the Prefecture Yamen of Ink Forest Prefecture City, and Feng Mo was audaciously attacking the Prefecture Yamen? This was a complete disregard for the authority of the court!

But then, a towering anger rose in Gong Ba’s heart: “This damned Demon Monster! He doesn’t take me seriously at all. Today, he must pay the most painful price!”

“Commander Gong… be careful!” Gong Yulong’s body trembled as he shouted. He could feel a dreadful aura emanating from outside, as if a monster eager to devour humans was lurking. Gong Yulong could only trust that Gong Ba, the protector of Ink Forest Prefecture City, would be able to fend off the formidable enemy!

On the spacious square, surrounded by rockeries and clear waters, which would normally be a beautiful sight, there were severed limbs scattered around.

Numerous black-armored soldiers were sweating profusely, surrounding the area tightly, weapons in hand, each staring intently at a tall, dark figure in the center of the square.

That tall, dark figure was an old man with white hair, over six feet tall, and robustly built, with messy white hair.

In his hands, he cradled a still-beating heart, devouring it with indifference to his surroundings.

The surrounding black-armored soldiers were all elites from the Ink Forest Army, but at that moment, their bodies trembled uncontrollably. The old man’s presence emitted an aura akin to that of a natural predator, causing them to shake uncontrollably and feel fear.

“It really is Feng Mo!”

Seeing the white-haired old man, Gong Ba’s complexion turned grim.

This white-haired old man was none other than the Demon Monster Feng Mo, whom he had encountered a month earlier.

However, compared to a month ago, Feng Mo had changed greatly.

A month earlier, Feng Mo was emaciated, hunched over, an unassuming, stooped old man.

But now, despite still appearing old, Feng Mo was tall and muscular, with untidy white hair, his face etched with malevolence, exuding a sense of great evil and extreme danger upon sight.

“This Feng Mo… his aura has become so much stronger than before!”

Gong Ba felt his body shaking uncontrollably as if a mouse had met a cat, and horror flooded his heart to an extreme.
